Anarchist Reading List
|
|
|
|
The following list is slanted towards anarchosyndicalism, but George
|
|
Woodcock's 'Anarchist Reader' and 'Anarchism' cover most of the historical anarchist
|
|
movements and ideas, and is a good start.
|
|
|
|
General:
|
|
|
|
'Anarchism Today', David E. Apter and James Joll, MacMillan (ISBN 333 12041
|
|
8), has chapters on various movements and a bibliography of Anarchism in
|
|
print. George Woodcock's Anarchist Reader and Anarchism also have useful
|
|
bibliographies. Daniel Guerin's 'Anarchism' (Monthly Review Press,
|
|
ISBN 85345-175-3) takes an anarchosyndicalist point of view (and has
|
|
a bibliography). Paul Avrich's 'Anarchist Portraits' (Princeton University Press
|
|
1988, ISBN-N-0-691-00609-1) covers Russian and American anarchists.
